SCARLETT MILAN WAS GOING to slaughter her boss. She would observe his life deplete from the slices she'd take off on his neck. At that point, she'd lick her paws and at long last get a few peace.
"Scarlett?" Knox Daniels' voice made the lioness need to murmur. Damn, inept creature. What the fuck was off-base with her?
"Yes, Knox?" She turned to confront him, swiveling in her chair. He wore those black-rimmed glasses he required or he'd never see his possess hand in front of his confront. A blue dress shirt and a bow tie. Better believe it, a bow tie. Not indeed a normal tie. For an venture investor, he was such a nerd. He indeed had a frickin' stash protector.
Did her irritating lioness care he was a nerd? No, she did not. Her bitch of a lioness needed her boss. She cared he had eyes a gentler brown than drain chocolate. Except
Scarlett didn't like her boss. She couldn't. She'd likely break him in bed. Fucking hell.
Why the hell was she considering of herself and Knox in bed? Why?
"I...I was hoping..."
She raised her brows and observed him pull at his bow tie. Dammit. Once once more she had to stifle a murmur from her cat and closed the creature up. "You were hoping?"
He cleared his throat. She gazed profoundly into his excellent brown eyes and crushed her legs together. Goddamn, he was so sexy.
He looked down at her chest. The fragrance of his claim excitement made it damn difficult for her to thrust her lioness back. The bitch needed to strip him to fair the bow tie and the glasses whereas she fucked him.
He unmistakably swallowed and looked absent from her low-cut neck area. She might say she hadn't chosen that dress to intentionally insult him, but that was a lie. She knew he needed her and abhorred that he was her boss. Despised that he was unaware to her wants and despised that he detested needing her. More than anything, she abhorred that he was human and she may never really go wild with him.
Not to say how boring he was. He never did anything. Went through days and evenings in the office and the as it were reason she knew he preferred ladies was since she noticed how he needed her.
Even with all that, the man had a sweetheart. It boggled the intellect. Affirm, it truly didn't. Those ravishing eyes behind those black-rimmed displays. That clean-shaven see and his hair continuously in put did things to her that no exposed man ever had. Fucking hormones! He never crossed the line when it came to Scarlett. No. It was all work with him. All around making beyond any doubt she was active doing the most boring work on the planet.
She truly required to discover a modern job.
No, you don't. Mate. Mate. Mate. Argh! If her lioness weren't so hard-headed, she'd have been able to take off this work, but no. The truth that she preferred being close Knox kept Scarlett from stopping. She didn't know why her imbecilic cat kept considering of him as her mate, but no man she may break in bed seem be her mate. No fucking way.
"Knox?" she rehashed, pulling him out of anything wander off in fantasy land he was having with his work. "What were you hoping?"
"That you would come to the company party this weekend."
She saw want in his eyes. Her pussy went smooth. Thank god, he couldn't scent her or things would get genuine fucking unbalanced. "I'm not beyond any doubt if I can, but I'll do my best."
He grinned and her areolas fixed. She had to be going into warm. It was the as it were clarification to how abruptly she couldn't get sufficient of his voice or the way his dim eyes meandered her confront until he halted at her lips. She licked her lips and was compensated with him clearing his throat. Her cat murmured and she had to hack to cover up the sound.
"I'm going to have supper with Lisa," he said, pulling his bow tie once more. "I'll see you tomorrow at the party."
If he specified his sweetheart one more time, she might murmur. She'd however to meet the lady, but her lioness abhorred her guts as it was. Not to say she'd seen a photo of him and her in the paper at a few swanky charity thing.
"Have you talked to her father approximately those deposits?" she asked.
"I cleared out him a message. Once I listen back from him, I'll know where to go from there."
"Hopefully, he can tell you where all that cash came from since you're assumed to be the one taking care of his accounts. I don't get how somebody can purchase a company with capital that wasn't there. Where did it come from?"
"Don't stress almost that stuff, I'll figure it out.
She waved him out of the office, abhorring that he was clearing out, but she took a breath and slipped her heels off. Time to relax.
She picked up the phone and dialed her sister-in-law, Shani. Her brother's spouse had welcomed her for supper and she was taking her up on it. To begin with, since Scarlett cherished Shani's cooking. Moment, since she was passing on to hold her most up to date nephew, Max.
"Hello, darling!" Shani replied. The sound of kids snickering in the foundation made it difficult to listen her.
"I'm coming. Be there in half an hour."
"Wonderful. I made your favorite. Scratch is off ensuring a few motion picture star so we won't be eating with him tonight."
Scarlett's brother possessed a security company. Gratefully, Shani was unimaginably understanding that her spouse was continually ensuring a few wealthy fellow or another. Scarlett was cheerful to offer assistance Shani with the kids when Scratch wasn't around.
She went into Knox's office to put a record on his work area and the fragrance of him made her lioness crazy.
She went around his work area and sat on his chair.
Pressing her body into the pad, she breathed in difficult. Fuck, it noticed fair like him. He'd cleared out a cloth on his work area. It was collapsed flawlessly into a square with his initials weaved on a corner.
Her body throbbed and she couldn't get the picture of him in the fucking bow tie and his provocative eyes looking at her out of her intellect. She required to get laid. Quick.
